What receiver would be best for my epos els3

Hey guys- I'm hoping you could recommend a stereo receiver/tuner to bring out the best in my epos els3. I currently have a yamaha rx-397, and it just doesn't do it for me (it was a gift). What should I be considering in a receiver for these speakers? I'd like it to be around $500 or lower, but could be persuaded to go up a little higher. It needs to have a phono input, and a sub out would be nice. Thoughts?
Thanks much!

Johnnyb53,

Thanks for the opposing view on the RR2150, because I was considering it for my bedroom system, just to get down to one box. Guess I'll stick with my tuner and T-amp for now.

I'll second jaybo's recommendation for Yamaha and Harman Kardon as I think they will meet your price/features requirements. I like the RX-797 from Yamaha based on auditions and I have owned a Harman Kardon HK3375 for six years and it has given me solid service so I think the current HK's like the 3490 would be a good choice. I particularly like the amp section in Harman's receivers and mine has done a good job driving several bookshelf speakers I have owned. Both brands are 4 ohm capable so your ELS3's should present no problems in that area. Good luck!
